Vanessa Celeste Deniston

I was completely taken aback when I was let go from my executive position. Despite years of stellar reviews and dedicating over 82 hours a week to expanding the business and introducing new revenue streams, all while advocating for equitable business practices, the severance package offered was inade...quate. Vanessa supported me every step of the way. From the outset, she ensured my communications were precise when submitting information requests. Towards the conclusion of the process, she identified an oversight made by the opposing party, which led to additional severance being awarded. I am immensely grateful to have had Vanessa in my corner throughout this ordeal!

My lawyer Vanessa at the Dolan law firm made me feel almost like family. I was connected and engaged and felt comfortable she was representing me. She was so passionate and fought for me in my case. She explained everything even though I was scared and not knowing whatever to do in this situation. S...he made it clear and coached me every step of the way with reassurance that’s it’s gonna be chill it’s going to be ok. The Dolan law firm itself is an outstanding law firm if anything ever horrible happens and need help. These people are the ones you want to review and represent your case.

I highly recommend Vanessa and Dolan Law Firm. After being injured on my bike and hospitalized by a careless motorist, my expectations for any kind of justice or settlement were low because I did not have the motorist’s name or information. Despite not having high hopes, I filled out Dolan’s intake w...eb portal with the details of my injury event. After some phone conversations, I met with Emile Davis at their Oakland office (this was prior to Vanessa joining their team) to discuss the accident, and Emile walked me through the different scenarios and outcomes I could expect, which was very helpful and informative for me as someone who had never taken any previous legal action. Vanessa connected with me soon after she joined the Dolan Law team, and she was professional and clear about how she was going to move my case along. After my medical treatments concluded, Vanessa worked to put together a strongly documented and effective case and kept me informed the whole time. Vanessa’s willingness and commitment to my case was reassuring for me, especially considering the fact that at that point some time had passed and we had still not yet managed to track down the motorist who had injured me, and my hopes for a just resolution were dwindling. I was later incredibly relieved when Vanessa and the Dolan Law team succeeded in finding the motorist’s identity and then brought the necessary documentation and paperwork to the company that the motorist had been driving for. I was later awarded a settlement amount that was significantly more than I had realistically expected. I have no experience with other law firms, but I can say in summary that Vanessa and the Dolan Law team were responsive, committed and transparent with me from beginning to end, and I got a much better outcome than I had anticipated.

My experience with Vanessa was excellent. She was very informative, positive and companionate, yet strong and willing to fight for my rights. I would definitely recommend DLF to anyone in need of great representation. Thank you again Vanessa for everything you did for me and your willingness to help... fight my case.

These are top litigators. Fearless. I myself am an attorney who specializes in plaintiff's litigation. I sought help from the Dolan Law Firm for a case where I was the plaintiff. Chris and Vanessa fought for me at every turn and obtained a great result for my case. They were responsive to my concerns..., worked hard on the case, and worked as a team. Day in and day out, Vanessa faced an army of opposing attorneys and took them all on, routinely winning decisions in front of the judge. Chris came in for the kill. He is smart and aggressive. At the beginning of the case, Chris prepares to go to trial, and if the other side remains unreasonable, he salivates for a showdown. I highly recommend Chris, Vanessa, and the Dolan Law Firm.
